Which rock is made up of less dense minerals like quartz and feldspar?
Granite
What minerals are less dense than water?
Evenkite (CH3)2(CH2)22
What can make water more dense?
Water is pure by nature, however it gets dense due to different impurities. Impurities such as salt and tiny minerals cause the water to get dense.
Why is ocean water more dense than regular fresh water?
Ocean water has salt and other minerals, but fresh water has no salt. Fresh water also has minerals in it, but ocean water has more.
What kind of gas cloud is most likely to give birth to stars?
a cold, dense gas cloud.
Why are dense minerals more likely to form placer deposits than less minerals are?
placer deposits from where water is moving fast enough to move lighter materials.
Why are gas deposits found on top of oil deposits?
the gas is collect above the oil because it has less dense
Is it true that the least dense minerals are found in earth's core?
No. The denser minerals are found at the core.
Why is sea water more dense then fresh water?
Sea water is more dense because the minerals, especially salt, make it more dense.
Which is least dense pumice or galena?
Pumice is far less dense than galena. Galena is one of the densest minerals.
How can dense hot minerals be useful to humans?
They are a source of heat for geothermal energy.

What is dense medium?
The word 'dense' varies according to the context. Lead is more dense than iron. Iodine-containing contrast media are dense to x-rays. The blackened portions of a photographic film are more dense as far as light is concerned. Sodium polytungstate is a dense material used to separate minerals according to density.
What geographical aspect cause dense population?
Geographical aspects that can cause dense population include fertile land for agriculture, access to water sources such as rivers or coastlines, and proximity to trade routes or urban centers. Additionally, favorable climate conditions and natural resources can also attract people to settle in an area and contribute to population density.
What is fossilization in detail?
When bones, or other dense living material is buried, over thousands of years as it decays it leaves spaces where minerals can gather. As the bone/ivory/shell/whatever, decays it is slowly replaced with mineral deposits that when the substance is fully decayed will fill in the hole that would have been left, and that mineral form is the fossil.
